Problem With Garage Door Opener



Question:
My single door garage opener is Sear brand. It works, but not all the time, specially during winter time. It seems not having enough juice to jerk open the garage door. It needs to take more than a couple of pushes of button to open the door. It helps opening the door when I pull the gliding lock off the hook before I push the button. Winter time is worse, it takes forever bushing the button and it never opens. Please help.

Answer:
decouple the opener from the door and raise it by hand to see if it sticks or your springs may be too weak to help lift it. If it binds find out why. Lubricate the rollers with a good spray lube also. If it is a chain drive a bit of spray on white lithium grease would help some. Careful not to much it drips on your car.
